Welcome!

StageSource L3t / L3m tower Forthesoloperformerorduo,theStageSourceL3tisasimple,powerful, and compact integrated live sound solution. Used as a standalone PA system, performers can benefit from a feature set designed to cover all theirneeds, includingabuilt-inmixerwith twomic/instrument inputs, full three-bandEQwith sweepablemid,SmartEffects (modulationand reverb),Line6acousticguitarmodeling,whichimprovestheoutputsignal ofanacousticguitaroutfittedwithpiezopickups,and12-bandfeedback suppression technology. For larger bands, live sound events, or houses of worship, StageSource L3t can be configured into full front-of-house and monitor systems. Connected via L6 LINK, the proprietary Line 6 networking protocol, StageSource L3t speakers automatically detect eachother and adjust their settings accordingly.Used in a systemwith StageSourceL3ssubwoofers,crossoversandlevelsareautomaticallysetfor best performance.

The L3t features six innovative Smart Speaker modes, each of which optimizes the speakers output for a variety of performance scenarios, including front-of-housePA loudspeaker, floormonitor, and speaker for keyboards,acousticguitars,orwithLine6POD multi-effect processors asahigh-performanceelectricguitarbackline.SmartSpeakermodescan be set manually or with the built-in orientation sensors that can detect whether the speaker has been pole-mounted or tilted for use as a monitor, and adjust the mode accordingly.

WhenconnectedviaL6LINK,StageSourcespeakersandtheStageScape M20d digital mixer are capable of unparalleled power and flexibility. Together they explode the typical mixer-speaker paradigm to introduce a smarter live sound experience in which the live rig is a complete, intel- ligent ecosystem rather than merely a linear combination of components.

SuSPending the L3t / L3m The L3t and L3m provide four threaded M10 attachment points for suspension andone threadedM10 attachment point for pull-back and aiming the speaker. These are designed to allow for suspending the loudspeaker only by a qualified professional familiar with safe rigging practices. Improper installation may result in damage to the speaker or support structure, or injury or death.

WARNING! If you are unfamiliar with suspending loudspeakers, con- sultanauthorized,qualifiedprofessionalpriortoinstallation.

WARNING! Before rigging or suspending any loudspeaker product, in- spect all rigging hardware, cabinets, attachment points, transducers, and associatedperipherals.Anyabsent,warped,ornon-loadratedequipment could seriously compromise the strength of the installation and should be immediately corrected.

WARNING! Alwaysfollowallmunicipalbuildingcodes,aswellasany local, state, and federal safety guidelines regarding the installation and operation of loudspeakers and associated peripherals.

Always use two attachment points on either the topor bottomof the L3t/L3m.Therearpanelpull-backattachmentpoint isonly for aiming thespeakerdownwards;itisnottobeusedasaload-bearingsuspension point.Furthermore,suspensionpointsareforhangingthespeakeronly; do not suspend additional speakers or other items from suspension points.

For permanent installations, use only the Line 6 eyebolt kit (part no. 98-037-0005).
